REQUIREMENT
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement to purchase a variety of initial spares to support the CP-140 Aurora Procedures Crew Trainer (PCT) under the umbrella of the CP140 Aurora Incremental Modernization Project (AIMP). This requirement is for the procurement of 40 Supermicro SuperWorkstation Rackmount Computers including associated hardware and software to be delivered to Greenwood, Nova Scotia.
It is proposed to issue a contract to Super Micro Computer, Inc. San Jose, California, USA or one of their authorized Canadian resellers.
BACKGROUND
DND have advised that due to the complexity of this training system device and the dependency between the hardware and mission software, DND must acquire the spare parts on a no substitute basis to ensure the integrity of operation remains as per the design of the system. This system has gone through extensive system testing and qualification. The PCT is an operational trainer whereby availability for training is critical and spare parts functionality is critical. The required Supermicro computer is part of a complicated system which has approximately 93 computers in it. DND has limited the design of this system to 2 different computers, one being the Supermicro model. As part of the PCT design process the required spare parts were specifically chosen to meet stringent performance criteria. The parts in the design were subject to extensive testing and qualification processes.
